    Uh, DV. That’s the FEDERAL income tax, eh?

    Yes and now it is approaching a trillion dollars in miliytary expenditures for the coming year. I am not sure how we are going to be able to sustain either the entitlement system, the military or both with falling incomes and increased regulatory pressure….to me, it seems like a short term national mess in the making. Unless we choose that to make war forever strategy is the one we want to use for the future and if we choose that it ensures depopulation. Great huh?

    10 cents goes to interest payments on past and present military debt >

    Obviously we need to cut that 4.4¢ out, since education is, and ought to be, a state and local responsibility, not a federal one.
